@jmac content matches, but presentation at Prog meta turned out more convenient in my experience. There's a question with a map of links to answers there, and each answer addresses separate close reason. i just go to question, copy the link to answer addressing specific close reason and paste it into question comments. works surprisingly well, people seem to read it and sometimes even pay attention to other close reasons explained in nearby answers :)
I'm searching an online projects / tasks management tool that allows me to add estimate workload for each task, and gives me daily / weekly workload of employees.
I've seen many tools (asana, wrike, taskant, trello etc) but no one has got this basic feature: can you please suggest me a tool?

I have recently been offered a new job with a company that I really like. I was wondering if the fact that I want to take out a personal loan would affect this in any way since it is stipulated in the conditions of the offer that my offer is subject to (amongst other things):

I have two questions about the 1st and 3rd paragraphs in a cover letter.
When I write the sentence immediately after my formal request for the position, I will either write: "I believe my qualifications make me an ideal candidate for the position" OR "My qualifications and work experience make ...
If in doubt about anything to do with attire in an interview situation, err on the side of formality. If you're over-dressed, it gives a better impression than under-dressing.
@enderland read the OPs comment on it. The explanation is solely stating their opinion. On myself for example, overdressing would make a worse impression than underdressing. I prefer working with people that are comfortable with being comfortable. If they're comfortable wearing a suit, that's great, if not, don't wear it.
@CMW when lemming votes block VLQ, just add a comment explaining the issue (like you did, and did well!) and flag for mod attention using "Other" type flag - these flags can be submitted at post of any score
georgienne makes an excellent point here. Unless backed by some more tangible facts, this answer is purely stating an opinion, and thus not very helpful. Please do edit in something more to back it. — CMW24 mins ago

We usually start looking into running elections about 30 days after a site graduates. Y'know, give it some nice foot room when they stew with their new design and privileges first, let people get comfortable and adjusted to the new reign. Exact dates may vary as we always start elections on Monda...
What's happening? The community is electing diamond ♦ moderators; those individuals responsible for moderating the site the election is happening on.
Moderators are elected by a three phase process:
Phase 1: Nomination
Duration: 7 days
Anyone may nominate themselves to be a moderator as long...
We are having issue with a deploy at the moment and are working hard to fix it as soon as possible. A build fixing out this particular issue is going out in a moment.
once SO gets out of read-only mode, take a look at their recent hot questions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22322954/any-issue-with-nesting-using-statements-in-c and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22321272/why-does-it-say-to-me-that-my-class-does-not-contain-a-constructor-that-takes-0 - with a little bit more upvotes these can redirect some of the lemmings attention out of our questions
@CMW Never done that... though we do have a few tests that fail on certain days of the year because the tests were coded poorly. So on certian days of the year its wanting to compare against Feb 30 but it defaults to either 28th or mar 1
@Chad Those are my favorite. Though in ruby land we're lucke to have Timecop that solves that issue
literally by stopping and jumping through time
Also a constant source of joy: The capybara tests I'm currently writing. Depend on render timing within phantomJS which is a completely separate entity from the code I'm running. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it won't.
You would resign in a normal, professional manner by going to your boss, giving them a letter with 2+ weeks notice, and calmly explaining the reasons you're moving on - just like (hopefully) you'd do normally. You can control your professionalism, you can't control other peoples' reactions or em...

I have a company (about 6 programmers, and 14 workers in total). As I am going to expand my company, I am thinking about hiring remote workers for programming jobs and get them to be involved in the main development.

Hi xiao, welcome to The Workplace. You have a whole lot of questions in there, most of which themselves would deserve a whole Q'n'A thread. Would you mind splitting it up a bit to make it easier for people who only know answers to parts of what you're asking to give an answer. Also, please keep in mind that some things like questions regarding legal advice are off-topic for this site. Read more about it in the help center. — CMW1 min ago

@athosbr99 Don't get this the wrong way. We don't judge you. We comment on the conclusions you're drawing. Thinking something is not going to work, because it's not working the way you expect is something a lot of people think. You might even be right in thinking that. But you might also be overlooking something, so jumping to conclusions is not your best bet. See how it plays out, learn from their mistakes, or learn from their saving the company after all.
@athosbr99 I think if you remove the last line where you imply they are going to crash and you are the only one to see it and ask how you should address the issues you raised you would find the question is received much better.
@athosbr99 Right now that part makes it seem as though you are quite pretentious.
I'm not offended, but its being harder for me to adapt here than Stack Overflow or Super User... I don't mind losing reputation nor being criticized but I was sad to see downvotes and only a comment to say whats wrong
@athosbr99 The question it self was not the problem... you jumping from those issue to the sky is falling and I am the only one that can see it is the problem.
@athosbr99 One of the hardest things for me to learn growing up wand even sometimes still is that someone else probably has a better grasp of the big picture than I do.
Its almost always better to fix what you can when you can and deal with what exists as you have to.
Given an open office layout with low-barrier cubicles setup in rows and a management assigned seating plan, how reasonable is it to request a seating change? The seating was assigned during a recent floorplan changing, and we're loosely clustered by team with our manager as well. About 30% of t...
i'm with a different mind than I had when I woke up this morning thanks to this. I don't really know what to do about it but in the end something will work out
trying to imagine how "new reality" feels like for lemming answerers. As usual, they click the sidebar. As usual, they drop their zero effort "meh" answers into the hot question. As usual, they expect a warm wave of similar answers and sympathy upvotes... Oops! Instead, they meet a hard cold surface. "Hello, we've got quality norms here, your post doesn't fit. No, there are no more lemmings around to help you ignore this..." What a disappointment
@HugoRocha that actually made me a good day, seeing score -2 there. It was my old pain point at Programmers, when passers by dropped into hot question, re-posted some point copied (probably unconsciously, which is even worse) from top answer and got their portion of upvotes. Seeing how it can be different brings a hope
@HugoRocha by the way, one trick to unblock i.stack.imgur.com at work is to find a useful question (at SO / SU / SF) with images, eg screen shots, and request whitelisting it using that question as an evidence that it is needed to perform your job function
In the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) fantasy role-playing game, Alignment is a categorization of the ethical (Law/Chaos axis) and moral (Good/Evil axis) perspective of people, creatures and societies.
The earliest edition of D&D allowed players to choose among three alignments when creating a character: Lawful, implying honor and respect for society's rules; chaotic, implying the opposite; and neutral, meaning neither. Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D) introduced a second axis of Good, Neutral and Evil, offering a combination of nine alignments. The D&D Basic Set retained the system of thre...
@HugoRocha it's totally legitimate thing, assuming that you refer really useful question. At one of my past jobs I did whitelisting requests almost monthly, that worked like a charm (not to SO resources, but to other work related stuff, web filters sometimes have really weird defaults). Per my recollection, blocking screen even provided a guidance on how to file a complaint if I feel like block was made in error
Oh, yes, I understand what you mean. I also request a lot of whitelisting. Stack exchange itself was one of them. It helps me to improve my English language.
I'm one of the fews of the company who does speak it. :|
But I see your point... But imgur I was trying already to whitelist. Sometimes I need it to test fetching some images from a external location.
@HugoRocha oh, since English makes a justification for whitelisting, you may have better luck at some ELL / ELU questions. By the way it is worth stressing a difference between generic imgur and i.stack.imgur - I can totally understand how whitelisting former can turn out troublesome, but the latter is specifically for SE resources, it's important difference
Without their participation and enthusiasm as an example, a LOT of people don't bother to participate. When they do show up, they huddle together and don't speak to anyone else at the event. On the one hand, they want to continue to have these events, but can't figure out why attendance is dwind...
those are basically asking for a strategy to tackle a certain issue, much like asking for code, and with the same requirements (show that you understand the issue; explain what you tried so far) these might be useful
so far most of those will be closed for being too broad
I want to establish something along the lines of SO's "Questions asking for code".
There you were required to demonstrate your grasp of the situation and explain what attempts you made so far.
To me this feels similar to questions like this:
How can we get upper management support and particip...
